We can effect the rate of change, in small ways, over time. One way is to "take your foot off the gas", in a manner of speaking. Use what we need in the most fuel efficient ways possible. Why go 75 when 60/65 might use 25 to 30 percent less fuel.
Changing the axis or orbit is not the only things that change climate. Heat absorption and reflection are also causes. These are affected by the make up of our atmosphere. The makeup of the atmosphere if affected by the health of our oceans and forests. Our oceans are not healthy partly due to human activity on a global scale. Our forests are being devastated, slashed and burned, at an alarming rate globally. Some of what used to be forest has been turned into tremendous cities and centers of industry. Concrete and asphalt soaking up the heat of the sun. The rest of the lost forests are being turned into farms and ranches, plantations for plants that have only a small percentage of the ability to change co2 into oxygen.
All of this contribute to climate change.
And, as to the recorded information, the records and charts are only a small part of recorded history of our planet. The geological record of our planet are easily read by those who know how. They tell of climates, of the atmosphere, of life and of the time before life. Evidence is there for those that care, really care, to see it.
To anyone who would respond with, "prove it" or "show me your reference", I say I have done my research and learned over a lifetime. Do your own research. Throw away your prejudices and pre-conceptions and search for truth, not confirmation of your old ideas.
